I made a simple directive that print an object:
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.users=[
{name:'davidi',age:'23'},
{name:'karen',age:'43'},
{name:'lior',age:'22'}
];
});
app.directive("appCustomer", function() {
var htmlcode="<p ng-repeat='user in customerInfo'>{{user.name}}</p>\
";
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
customerInfo: '=info'
},
template : htmlcode
};
});
my html code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.9/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="myCtrl">
<app-customer info="users"></app-customer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<script src="angularapp.js"></script>
i want simply access the $scope.users in my directive, to print the users object without the ng-repeat,
so i made it like that:
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.users=[
{name:'davidi',age:'23'},
{name:'karen',age:'43'},
{name:'lior',age:'22'}
];
});
app.directive("appCustomer", function() {
var htmlcode="";
var userslength=3;
for(var i=0;i<userslength;i++)
{
htmlcode=htmlcode+"<p>{{users["+i+"]['name']}}</p>";
}
return {
restrict: 'E',
template : htmlcode
};
});
thats works fine, but when i replace the userlength to $scope.users.length , the app fail.
so my question is how can i access a $scope from the controller in the directive?
JSFiddle
You need to specify the link function
app.directive("appCustomer", function() {
function link(scope, element, attrs) {
var htmlcode = "";
for (var i = 0; i < scope.users.length; i++) {
element.text(Put your text here);
// OR
element.html(Put your HTML here);
}
}
return {
restrict: 'E',
users: '=',
link: link
};
});
In the scope you will receive users array
The second is you can you element argument to put your data to template. Or create html template separately

The directive below is intended to take the value of the <input> tag and render the exact number of boxes. This directive needs to be restricted to E (bad design but is what it is), so it looks like I need to find some way of attaching a $watch to the input field.
Below you can see my best attempt, or at least a general sketch of what I'd like to accomplish, however this only triggers when the page originally loads. No change to the value in the input box is reflected by the alert statement.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<draw-boxes count="3"></draw-boxes>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("drawBoxes", function() {
var input = "<input type='text'></input>";
var htmlCanvas = "<canvas width='800' height='800'></canvas>";
var template = input + htmlCanvas;
var linker = function(scope, el, attrs){
scope.$watch(el.children()[0], function (v) {
alert('value changed, new value is: ' + v);
//Will do some canvas drawing here based on input
});
};
return {
restrict: "E",
template : template,
link: linker
};
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can use ng-change on the input. Here is an example:
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("drawBoxes", function() {
var linker = function(scope, el, attrs){
scope.valueChanged = '';
scope.change = function() {
scope.valueChanged = 'new value is ' + scope.value;
};
};
return {
restrict: "E",
template : "<input type='text' ng-change=\"change()\" ng-model=\"value\"></input>"+
"<span>{{valueChanged}}</span>" +
"<canvas width='800' height='800'></canvas>",
link: linker
};
Here is a working example on jsfiddle.
Personally, I would try attaching a controller to the directive.
Also, the input field will need to have a unique ng-model value attached to it.
Then your $scope.$watch can check if the value has changed for the input field whenever any $scope value changes.
Something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<draw-boxes count="3"></draw-boxes>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("drawBoxes", function() {
var input = "<input type='text' ng-model='watchedInput'></input>";
var htmlCanvas = "<canvas width='800' height='800'></canvas>";
var template = input + htmlCanvas;
return {
restrict: "E",
template : template,
controller: function($scope) {
$scope.$watch(function() {
// when a $scope value is changed, return the
// value you want this watcher to watch
return $scope.watchedInput;
}, function(newValue) {
// if the value returned above is different from the
// previous value, this function will be invoked
// passing in the changed value as newValue
alert('value changed, new value is: ' + newValue);
}, true);
},
scope: {},
bindToController: true
};
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
FYI: I haven't tested this code but wanted to illustrate the idea.
When I tried to call an Directive inside ngRepeat is failing.
But if call the same directive outside ngRepeat is working fine.
Please check the below code:
<html>
<head>
<script src ="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app = "myApp">
<div ng-controller = "myCtrl">
<div ng-repeat="list in lists">
<div>{{fileName}}</div>
<input type = "file" id=list file-model = "myFile"/>
<button ng-click = "uploadFile()">upload me</button>
</div>
</div>
<script>
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.directive('fileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
var model = $parse(attrs.fileModel);
var modelSetter = model.assign;
element.bind('change', function(){
$scope.$apply(function(){
modelSetter($scope, element[0].files[0]);
});
});
}
};
}]);
myApp.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){
$scope.lists=[1,2,3];
$scope.uploadFile = function(){
var file = $scope.myFile;
console.log('file is ' );
console.dir(file);
$scope.fileName=file.name;
/* var uploadUrl = "/fileUpload";
fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, uploadUrl);*/
};
}]);
</script>
</body>
</html>
How to invoke the directive from ng-repeat?
You are restricting your directive to 'E'- element and using it as attribute. Change restrict property to EA.
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.directive('fileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
return {
restrict: 'EA',
link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
var model = $parse(attrs.fileModel);
var modelSetter = model.assign;
element.bind('change', function(){
$scope.$apply(function(){
modelSetter($scope, element[0].files[0]);
});
});
}
};
}]);
First of all, the way i am doing may not be correct. But i will explain the problem:
1) I am creating directive called as < firstDirective >
2) when the clicks on a button in the first directive, then I am trying to insert the second directive dynamically at runtime
As follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<first-directive></first-directive>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("firstDirective", function() {
return {
template : '<h1>This is first directive!</h1> <br / ><br / ><button type="button" ng-click="firstCtrl()">Click Me to second directive!</button> <div id="insertSecond"></div> ',
controller: function ($scope) {
$scope.firstCtrl = function($scope) {
angular.element(document.querySelector('#insertSecond')).append('<second-directive></second-directive>');
}
}
}
});
app.directive("secondDirective", function() {
return {
template : '<h1>This is second directive!</h1> <br / ><br / >',
controller: function ($scope) {
}
}
});
</body>
</html>
But it is not working, i mean, it is inserting the "< second-directive > < / second-directive >" text but not the content as per the directive above.
I am new to angular js, I think we can do this in a different way or my approach itself is not correct. But all i want to insert the second directive dynamically.
EDIT:: I got the solution for this, thanks to the George Lee:
Solution is we have to compile as follows, but didn’t pass scope object to the function:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="lib/angular/angular.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<first-directive></first-directive>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("firstDirective", function($compile) {
return {
templateUrl : '<h1>This is first directive!</h1> <br / ><br / ><button type="button" ng-click="firstCtrl()">Click Me to second directive!</button> <div id="insertSecond"></div> ',
controller: function ($scope) {
$scope.firstCtrl = function() {
var ele = $compile('<second-directive></second-directive>')($scope);
angular.element(document.querySelector('#insertSecond')).append(ele);
}
}
}
});
app.directive("firstDirective", function() {
return {
templateUrl : '<h1>This is second directive!</h1> <br / ><br / >',
controller: function ($scope) {
}
}
});
Also, this link , gives very good explanation of how to dynamically compile and inject the templates.
You can use the $compile service in Angular, make sure you include it in the dependency injection.
app.directive("firstDirective", ['$compile', function($compile) {
...
controller: function ($scope) {
$scope.firstCtrl = function() {
var ele = $compile('<second-directive></second-directive>')($scope);
angular.element(document.querySelector('#insertSecond')).append(ele);
}
}
There is one more problem instead of templateUrl, template should be there
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script data-require="angular.js#1.0.x" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.8/angular.min.js" data-semver="1.0.8"></script>
<first-directive></first-directive>
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.directive("firstDirective", function($compile) {
return {
template : '<h1>This is first directive!</h1> <br / ><br / ><button type="button" ng-click="firstCtrl()">Click Me to second directive!</button> <div id="insertSecond"></div> ',
controller: function ($scope) {
$scope.firstCtrl = function() {
var ele = $compile('<second-directive></second-directive>')($scope);
angular.element(document.querySelector('#insertSecond')).append(ele);
}
},
restrict: "EAC"
}
});
app.directive("secondDirective", function() {
return {
template : '<h1>This is second directive!</h1> <br / ><br / >',
controller: function ($scope) {
},
restrict: "EAC"
}
});
</script>

I'm trying to create an angular component, a timepicker, using plain javascript models, I want the controller of the component expose an api and also working with ngModel.
I'm pretty newbie with angular and don't know how to work with ngModel. I have two inputs inside the template with hours and minutes. My problem is that I don't know how to pass the ngmodel parameters to the controller.
I've prepared a plunker:
http://plnkr.co/edit/aal3VP?p=preview
(function() {
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
function DemoController() {
this.tpVal = {
hours: 10,
minutes: 0
};
}
app.controller('DemoController', DemoController);
function TimePickerModel(config) {
this.show = config.show || true;
this.hours = null;
this.minutes = null;
}
function TimePickerController() {
// API for state
this.model = new TimePickerModel({});
}
TimePickerController.prototype.show = function showTimePicker() {
this.model.show = true;
};
TimePickerController.prototype.hide = function hideTimePicker() {
this.model.show = false;
};
TimePickerController.prototype.setHours = function setHoursTimePicker(hours) {
this.model.hours = hours;
};
TimePickerController.prototype.setMinutes = function setMinutesTimePicker(minutes) {
this.model.minutes = minutes;
};
TimePickerController.prototype.setValue = function setValueTimePicker(value) {
this.model.hours = value;
this.model.minutes = value;
};
app.directive('timepicker', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'AE',
controller: 'TimePickerController',
scope: {},
require: 'ngModel',
templateUrl: 'timepicker.html',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
//console.log('Model val: ' + ngModel.$modelValue);
//console.log('View val: ' + ngModel.$viewValue);
ngModel.$render = function() {
//Do something with your model
console.log(scope.model);
var actualValue = ngModel.$modelValue;
console.log('Model val: ' + ngModel.$modelValue.hours);
console.log('View val: ' + ngModel.$viewValue.hours);
//console.log(element.find('input')[0]);
//element.find('input')[0].val(actualValue.hours);
}
}
};
});
app.controller('TimePickerController', TimePickerController);
})();

ng-model is a standard angular directive to bound inputs values to scope property, you don't need to inject it or call the directive property with the same name. If you want to inject the values from the controller into the directive, you can use scope property for that.
in directive:
scope: {
model : '=time'
},
in index.html
<timepicker time="ctrl.tpVal"></timepicker>
Check that modification: http://plnkr.co/edit/cJ0mjI?p=preview.
You also can see how changing model value inside the directive can propargate outside by adding dummy increaseHours function in directive;
I have a AngularJS directive which takes an ID and makes a lookup on this ID to get col-width, hide-state and order for a given flexbox element.
What I d like to do is to add a ng-if=false attribute to the element if its hide-state is true. Is there any way, how I can add ng-if attribute from within a directive to a element?
My current code:
.directive("responsiveBehaviour", ['ResponsiveService', function(ResponsiveService){
var linkFunction = function(scope, element, attributes){
var id = attributes["responsiveBehaviour"];
var updateResponsiveProperties = function(){
element.attr("column-width", ResponsiveService.getWidth(id));
if(ResponsiveService.getOrder(id)){
element.attr("order", ResponsiveService.getOrder(id));
}
if(ResponsiveService.getHidden(id) == true){
element.attr("hidden", "");
} else {
element.removeAttr("hidden");
}
};
if(id) {
scope.$watch('device', function () {
updateResponsiveProperties();
});
}
};
If I add
element.attr("ng-if", false);
instead of
element.attr("hidden", "");
it just renders out the ng-if attribute to the element but there is no action happening, so the element is still rendered and visible although ng-if is false.
Do you have any idea on how to achieve what I am looking for?
Thanks in advance.

something like below:
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
});
app.directive( 'test', function ( $compile ) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: { text: '#' },
template: '<p ng-click="add()">Jenish</p>',
controller: function ( $scope, $element ) {
$scope.add = function () {
var el = $compile( "<test text='n'></test>" )( $scope );
$element.parent().append( el );
};
}
};
});
working plunk is here
Update
Here is simple example as you requested.
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
$scope.add = function () {
alert('Jenish');
$scope.cond = false;
}
$scope.cond = true;
});
app.directive( 'test', function ( $compile ) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<p ng-click="add()">Click me to hide</p>',
link: function ( $scope, $element, attr ) {
var child = $element.children().attr('ng-if', 'cond')
console.log($element)
$compile(child)($scope);
}
};
});
